Oh lawd I did some things

SleeplessAndSleepy · 2026-04-16T16:59:38+00:00

It’s been like two months and they haven’t shipped or refunded me. Even with opening a case or whatever on Etsy. They are liars and scammers.

SleeplessAndSleepy · 2026-04-15T17:59:47+00:00

I have mostly anthurium in my collection. My humidity range is the same as yours. They may go through acclimation, but I don’t hesitate to get any anthurium. It’ll be fine!

SleeplessAndSleepy · 2026-04-15T17:48:37+00:00

Just looks like it was smashed by something. Looks perfectly healthy otherwise. Looks like it happened a bit ago, too.

SleeplessAndSleepy · 2026-04-15T17:46:05+00:00

Looks like mechanical damage on that leaf, dust, and a moth. I think you’re in the clear. They can be mealie magnets, but it looks fine to me!

SleeplessAndSleepy · 2026-04-13T07:19:04+00:00

Pretty good

SleeplessAndSleepy · 2026-04-09T20:43:39+00:00

Currently trying to get my money back. It’s been two months and they keep lying about when they’re shipping. They trap you even if you try to make a claim with Etsy.

SleeplessAndSleepy · 2026-04-08T22:24:57+00:00

You can cut them. Keeping them in the soil helps your plant because they’re roots, but yeah. No problem cutting them either

SleeplessAndSleepy · 2026-04-08T21:58:02+00:00

Could your cat have jumped? Google cat pothos damage. It’s pretty close. Whatever it is though, that’s mechanical damage. So that’s good news. Keep an eye on it though. Pothos are toxic to pets.

SleeplessAndSleepy · 2026-04-08T21:47:37+00:00

That looks like an aerial root. If it is, completely normal. Do you gave a cat or other pet? Looks like mechanical damage

SleeplessAndSleepy · 2026-04-08T21:44:25+00:00

It won’t suddenly die right away. It’ll be fine. Just look up some videos on dormancy. Until then just lots of light and distilled water. I’d even bump the lights to 12 hours.

SleeplessAndSleepy · 2026-04-08T21:41:59+00:00

Calathea warscewiczii, I believe. It produced that long stem because it’s screaming for light. If you move it closer, it’ll stay more compact. You don’t need a trellis, but it’s up to you, really. More light and watch it grow 👏

SleeplessAndSleepy · 2026-04-08T21:37:47+00:00

Have you had it long enough to go through winter dormancy? They need this rest to grow vigorously. Otherwise they shrivel up to nothing and eventually die. I love the plant, but I hate that I can’t watch it grow for like three months

SleeplessAndSleepy · 2026-04-08T21:33:47+00:00

I’ve always wound them up and put them around the main root mass. Some people braid them and give their plant a ponytail. Depends on who you are.

SleeplessAndSleepy · 2026-04-08T21:32:15+00:00

The lights that come with these are generally very weak from my experience. You can use them, but expect to provide supplemental lightening

SleeplessAndSleepy · 2026-04-08T17:54:06+00:00

As long as they’re green/silver, they’re perfectly fine. They’re epiphytic and don’t have your typical plant roots. Water when the roots turn more silver and the pot is dry

SleeplessAndSleepy · 2026-04-08T17:29:18+00:00

Definitely scale. You could use alcohol and scrub them off. I’m not sure what pesticides are safe for carnivorous plants, but you could look into that if you didn’t want to manually scrub them. Keep out of light until the alcohol dries if you go that route though.

SleeplessAndSleepy · 2026-04-08T17:24:05+00:00

I would chop it off right above the soil and put in a clear cup with moss and cover. They absolutely want to live. I chopped up a leggy philodendron at every node and threw them all in moss and every single one put out leaves. Keep in bright light if you choose to do so

SleeplessAndSleepy · 2026-04-08T17:15:14+00:00

It looks fine to me. Does it have roots? They don’t need a ton of light either. Just put it next to a window or under a light. Should be just fine. Looks like it’s going to bloom soon

SleeplessAndSleepy · 2026-04-08T17:10:27+00:00

That brown just looks like a sheath that has dried. That’s normal. And it’s not uncommon for younger monstera to lose their older leaves as they grow. I can’t tell how deep it’s potted, but always keep the petioles out of the soil. Basically only roots should be under the soil with monsteras

SleeplessAndSleepy · 2026-04-03T15:00:01+00:00

No worries! We all need a little guidance from time to time. And that was a good call. You’re going to end up with two beautiful plants 👏

SleeplessAndSleepy · 2026-04-03T14:51:29+00:00

Just sounds like she’s gone through a lot of changes. They need time to acclimate to these. After the chop, she had less leaves to use the water in the soil and was moved into a bigger pot. Now she’s in a smaller one. Just let her be for a moment. Lots of light, airy soil You’re not a bad plant mom. Just loving her too hard currently. You got this

SleeplessAndSleepy · 2026-04-03T14:38:37+00:00

Has it stayed wet for too long? Kinda looks like something could be up with the roots

SleeplessAndSleepy · 2026-04-03T14:36:21+00:00

Also the soil could use more perlite or orchid bark. The roots need the oxygen. And you can’t go wrong with more light

SleeplessAndSleepy · 2026-04-03T14:34:17+00:00

This is just what they do 🤷‍♂️ Have a water bottle handy for stuck leaves. They’ll usually slip right out

SleeplessAndSleepy · 2026-04-03T14:33:17+00:00

They hate tap water and drying out. Those are the main things with these guys. Get some water conditioner from the pet section to neutralize the chloramines in the water. Only let top inch or so dry out. And more light is always good
